first the mic then a half cigarette   singing cathy's clown   that's the man that she's married to now   that's the girl that he takes around town   she appears composed, so she is, i suppose   who can really tell?   she shows no emotion at all   stares into space like a dead china doll   i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow   now she's done and they're calling someone   such a familiar name   i'm so glad that my memories remote   'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note   here it is the revenge to the tune   "you're no good,   you're no good you're no good you're no good"   can't you tell that it's well understood   i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow   i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on   i'm tired   i'm tired   looking out on the substitute scene   still going strong   XO, mom   it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong   tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone   in the place where i make no mistakes   in the place where i have what it takes   i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow   i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow   i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
